Congratulations

Lack of teaching. Some of the instructors treat us (students) like children. The instructors are never available even though on the syllabus they have noted the hours they are available after class. There is no tutoring for nursing students at our school (nursing program is the biggest program at this school, nursing is what they are known for). There are so many inconsistencies. During our lab and test-outs some students failed for doing or not doing something while the other students passed doing the exact same thing. If you have a question each of the three instructors will give you different answers. I am just tired at spending so much time finding out what is required for each project, care plan, or test out, because instructions they gave us were never complete and clear. I found out more from past students and from students in the same class but different lab times. For the project they would give us examples how they wanted us to do the project and fail us and give us a zero because they wanted something completely different. We had to fight for our project grades and appeal our grade. I do not want to go trough this another semester since we have the same instructors again later in the program. The program director obviously does not care because the students keep leaving the program and the percentage went from 6% to 18% since last year. The dean of the school told us they are aware of the increase in the number of students leaving and are doing something to change it but I do not want to stay and wait to see if anything changes or not. On top of everything this is one of the most expensive programs out there. So I do not have time and money to waste at this place.

Thank you so much. You are a life saver :) I went to their website and found the list of all schools. Thanks again.

Hello, I am currently in a terrible nursing program (Associate accelerated program). I am looking at different schools in my area(Cleveland, Ohio) to transfer. I am confused about accreditation. Every school I looked into is accredited by different organization. I am planning to work in a hospital setting and I plan on getting my BSN later. What should I look for when selecting a nursing program (what accreditation)? I am very confused. My current school is accredited by ACEN. I do not want to go to school that is not accredited by the right agency and when I get my license I am not able to work at the hospital or to pursue my BSN. Any information is very helpful, I tried to do research on my own but got even more confused as I found out there is many different accreditation agencies. Thank you in advance.

That's what I downloaded. It seems like a good recording app. I will use it tomorrow in class. Hopefully it works well and it will help me take better notes.

Which is the best recording app you have used. I want to record the lectures but I'm not sure what app is the best. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I start my program may 8th. I will be taking : eng 101 Intro info literacy & reserch Intro to nursing First yr experience Psychology Math 103 A&P

Today I found out I got accepted to the nursing program. I start in May. There are no words that can describe how happy and excited I am. I studied hard and passed my Teas test. I wanted to share this good news with all of you because this site is where I went to get my questions answered and just to read your experiences and opinions. Reading your responses to other peoples questions made me feel more confident that I can pass the Teas test. Thank you once again, and good luck to all of you! Love, Vicky :-)

Thank you!!! I had my test on the 5th and passed it :-)
